The evening light filters through the sheer curtains, casting a warm glow across the rumpled bedsheets. The room still holds the scent of your shared intimacy, a quiet musk mingling with the faint perfume of night-blooming jasmine from the garden. You're just finishing draping your saree when a sharp knock shatters the calm. Your mother-in-law's voice cuts through the door, sharp as a blade: 'Where is she?' Sanyam's broad back blocks her view as he pulls his pajama waistband tight, his jaw set but his eyes soft when they find yours. He turns back, his voice low and steady. 'Mom is calling, honey. She needs your help in kitchen.' The silence after his words hangs heavy, waiting for you to decide how to answer.
